oh yeah the twister that took the roof off the place next door, but barely
scratched our house. That house had a detached garage


I'm sure it did.

Last week, I went through a blizzard. Today, we had some more fun, a
tornado touched down a little bit (less than a quarter of a mile) north
of me.


I lived in Kansas for 35 years and saw a number of tornadoes up too close. Once
I got briefly picked up by one in a Corvair (Nader was right about that,
anyway), and another time I saw one hit a turkey farm across the highway from
where I worked. Who says turkeys can't fly? One thing they can't do is land,
though, and about 400 were killed.

When we were kids and a siren went off my folks would send us to cover and then
go outside to see if they could see one. g

Absolutely - gotta be one of the best TeeVee episodes ever. I wish WKRP reruns
were still on the tube somewhere.

That reminded me of the Firesign Theatre line, "There's hamburger
all over the highway in Mystic, CT". Interestingly enough, last week a
truck going through Austin wrecked and spilled ground beef all over the
interstate. It was treated as toxic waste.
